A farmer who used defoliating pesticides indirectly supplied cattle to JBS, according to a report by Mighty Earth. According to the report, environmental devastation on 11 of Claudecy Lemes’ farms in the Pantanal occurred due to the use of 25 different pesticides, including 2,4-D—one of the components of Agent Orange, the chemical defoliant used by the United States during the Vietnam War.
